By Rebecca Ragain CEG CORRESPONDENT University of Oregon (UO) basketball fans are eagerly following the progress of the new Matthew Knight Arena, which replaces the affectionately regarded but much outdated McArthur Court. McArthur Court, nicknamed Mac Court and The Pit, is the second oldest on-campus gym in the country, according to UO’s sports history Web site. Built in 1926, the court’s original capacity was 6,000; improvements over the years brought capacity to its current 9,087. “There are a lot of fond memories of The Pit,” said Tim Clevenger, vice presi- dent of marketing and brand management at The Papé Group Inc., who is a UO graduate and past president of the univer- sity’s alumni association. “However, as the program has grown, it’s just been harder and harder to get people in there.” “Matt Court,” as some fans refer to the new arena, will seat 12,541 — in wider, modern-style seats with better court views — and have more than four times as many restrooms compared to McArthur Court. The Matthew Knight Arena is named in honor of UO patron Phil Knight’s son, who died in 2004. In 2007, the co- founder of Nike pledged $100 million to the university’s athletic department, cat- alyzing funding of the $230-million arena project. Ground breaking for the 397,825-sq.- ft. (36,960 sq m) arena took place in February.

Work on a Utah freeway reconstruction projectso unusual it was featured as NationalGeographic Channel’s “World’s Toughest Fixes”is heading for an on-time, on-budget completionat the end of the year.
What made work on a 2-mi. (3.2 km) stretchof I-80 in Salt Lake City project extraordinarywas the Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC)method using Self Propelled Modular Transports(SPMT) to construct six of 12 bridges and one oftwo ramps in the project.
The $139 million project along a 2-mi. stretchfrom State Street to 1300 East through Salt LakeCity includes construction of the bridges andramp “not at their final location,” John Montoya,project manager, said. Instead, the girders anddecks were constructed on the ground at a “bridgefarm.” Massive transporters moved them to belifted into place along the expressway.
Horrocks Engineering and H.W. LochnerEngineering are the designers and Ralph L.Wadsworth Construction is the general contrac-tor.
Some of the bridges were transported as muchas a mile and a half which is “a good distance,”Montoya said.
“That was significant. There are a fair amountof projects where you move a bridge a couplehundred feet but we actually moved some ofthem a mile and a half.”
The bridges that were moved vary in lengthfrom 85 to 173 ft. (25.9 to 52.7 m) and were 43 to94 ft. (13 to 28.6 m) wide, Carlye Sommers, pub-lic involvement manager for Lochner, said. Thelargest weighed in at 1,350 tons (1,220 t).
The SPMTs that moved the bridges hadapproximately 250 wheels and moved at an aver-age speed of five miles per hour, Sommers said.
The only route crews could move the bridgesdown was the same one they were working on so

Health care reform in the United Stateshas been beaten nearly to death this year byadvocates and critics alike. Yet as thedebate moves into October, the final shapeof “reform” remains elusive and elasticwith construction industry executives anx-ious about its impact on their companies.
Any change in the system definitely willhave impact on contractors and a sweepingchange could upend smaller firms — andmost construction companies are small-to-medium-sized. The truth of the matter isthe reform model in which governmentwould provide most health care serviceswould dramatically change the way everybusiness operates, large or small.
It is impractical to hope that health carereform will be tailored to the constructionindustry. Nevertheless, small businessesconsistently favor certain reform initiativesover others. Were Washington to institutereform along the lines general contractorsmight lay down, the following featureswould be among the legislated changes:
• New authority for associations tonegotiate insurance packages for theirmembers. Besides gaining clout in negoti-ating benefits, association insurance nego-tiators could win lower premiums, if giventhe opportunity. Associated Builders andContractors noted that private insurancecarriers must mark up premiums as muchas 35 percent when dealing with smallgroups in order to meet profit targets andoffset overhead. Whereas associations canprovide the same administrative servicesfor their members at a cost of 15 percent orless — if, that is, members are allowed tobuy insurance through small business

On July 9 officials in Nashville, Tenn., brokeground on Phase II of the Interstate 40 WhiteBridge Road Interchange Improvement Project.Phase I was finished during the summer 2005.Since then, the project has been stalled for fouryears because of lack of funding. Now, the $32-million project is being totally funded throughmoney from the American Recovery andReinvestment Act of 2009, which the Presidentsigned into law in February
Many dignitaries, including Gov PhilBredesen and Tennessee Department ofTransportation (TDOT) Commissioner GeraldNicely, were on hand for the groundbreakingceremony
“This project will enhance Nashville’salready excellent transportation system,” saidBredesen at the ceremony. “It will improveaccess to Interstate 40 and Briley Parkway andwill contribute to continued economic develop-ment in West Nashville.”
Bell & Associates Construction LP,Brentwood, Tenn., is the prime contractor forPhase II, which includes a new interchange at I-40 and Briley Parkway/White BridgeRoad/Robertson Road. The company also con-structed the $43-million Phase I.
The contract also includes construction oftwo flyover ramps to and from I-40 and BrileyParkway, plus the replacement of the WhiteBridge Road Bridge over I-40. In addition, threenoise barriers and five retaining walls will bebuilt and a pedestrian bridge located just west ofthe interchange will be replaced.
“The project is just over a mile long,”explained Jeremy Mitchell, project managerwith Bell & Associates. There will be “threelanes west and three lanes east on I-40 and twoauxiliary lanes for the new ramps.”
The Interstate will be constructed of asphalt,and the ramps will be concrete paving. Therewill be more than 20,000 cu. yds. (15,200 cu. m)of concrete used on this project.
The two major bridges being built are theWhite Bridge Road Bridge and the pedestrianbridge. The White Bridge Road Bridge, measur-ing just over 1,500 ft. (457 m) long, is beingconstructed of single-column hammerhead piersand structural steel plate girders. The pedestrianbridge is approximately 230 ft. (70 m) long and

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) GovCharlie Crist and his “stimulus czar’’ saidOct. 9 that a recent federal report supportsFlorida’s go-slow approach to spendingfederal recovery money earmarked forhighway projects and schools.
Even so, Florida’s overall stimulusspending is a bit ahead of schedule, saidczar Don Winstead, whose official title isspecial adviser to the governor on econom-ic stimulus.
Federal officials in February said theyexpected the state to spend about 20 per-cent of its estimated $15 billion in stimulusmoney by the end of September
“I think we will be ahead of that sched-
ule,’’ Winstead said. “We are seeing rapiddeployment and we’ll see over the nextcouple of months additional rapid deploy-ment of some of the larger projects.’’
In letters to state lawmakers and mem-bers of Florida’s congressional delegation,Crist cited a Government AccountabilityOffice report that focuses on stimulusspending for education, transportation andMedicaid. Winstead spoke about it in ateleconference with reporters.
In August, U.S. Rep. James Oberstar, aMinnesota Democrat who chairs theHouse Transportation and InfrastructureCommittee, sent Crist a letter chidingFlorida for ranking last in spending stimu-lus money designated for highway projectsand urged him to “refocus your efforts.’’

A short 19-mi. (30.5 km) stretch of road justnorth of Detroit has been transformed into animprovement project with a rather complicatedstrategy. Extensive work on the I-96/I-696 cor-ridor in Oakland and Macomb counties has beendivided into four separate projects.
Project 1 consists of rehabilitation of eightbridges and repair of 4 mi. (6.4 km) of pavementin Oakland County between Novi and Halstedroads, including the I-96/I-696/M-5 interchangein Novi and Farmington Hills.
Project 2 picks up where the first project endsand involves pavement patching and rehabilita-tion of 42 bridges on I-696 in Oakland Countybetween Halsted and Campbell-Hilton roads.
Project 3 focuses on rehabilitating 22 bridgeson I-696, 15 of which are located within the I-696/Mound Road interchange.
Project 4 includes rehabilitation of six bridgesand extensive pavement repairs to I-696between Hayes and Nieman roads in MacombCounty. Also included are safety upgrades andlighting replacement on the median and ramps.
OverlapFor all practical purposes, the $67 million
overall project has been divided into two con-tracts — east and west — with two prime con-tractors: Dan’s Excavating out of Grant, Mich.,on the west contract and C.A. Hall on the east.
But even that division is a little blurry. “There are overlapping facets,” says Bob
Daavettila, construction director for Tetra Tech,
particularly concerning the bridge work. A total of 56 bridges will undergo rehabilita-
tion. Because C.A. Hall is a subcontractor for allbridge work on both contracts and since there’sa lot of bridge work in the west contract, Hall isdoing considerable work on both.
“Because they’re a major sub, it leads to a lotof coordination. Hall is at all the meetings forthe Dan’s contract.”
According to Daavettila, the two big con-tracts consist of a two-year project for $47 mil-lion to reconstruct pavement from Novi toFarmington Hills — the west project — and a
$14 million contract to conduct bridge rehabili-tation and concrete patching on I-696 — the eastproject. The west contract involves significantamounts of overlay, but there is none on the eastcontract. Instead, there is, as Daavettila says, “alot of concrete patching.”

In trucking, cooperation is everything. The same could besaid for construction work, all contracting and the running ofany successful club or organization.
Cooperation in all these arenas came together as one at theAntique Truck Club of America’s Little Rhody Chapter’sSixth Annual Antique Truck Show on Sept. 13 on theWashington County Fairgrounds in Richmond, R.I.Working in conjunction with the Historical ConstructionEquipment Association’s (HCEA) Northeast Rockbustersonce again, more than 60 members of the local AntiqueTruck Club brought out their finest old equipment, to thedelight and surprise of other members, guests and enthusi-asts.
The Antique Truck Club and the Rockbusters hold thisevent every September, drawing people from every NewEngland state. Machines that range from the unusual to thesublime fill the flat fields of the fairgrounds for passersby to
admire.“We combine our shows. We support them and they sup-
port us, even in the rain,” said Jackie Volatile, who organiz-es these shows with her husband, Roger, the club’s president.
What made the presidential couple so proud this year wasthat the event was organized to raise money and food for theRhode Island Food Bank.
We brought in 800 pounds of canned goods. Last year, wefed 2,000 needy families for a year and we are quite proud ofthat,” said Jackie Volatile.
They also are very proud of the cooperation and sharedinterests of their members who bring any and all workingantique machines to these events, as long as they are able.
“We welcome classic trucks, we welcome tractors, any-thing that comes in,” added Roger Volatile. “Antique isantique to us.”
The Volatiles represent the Little Rhody Chapter at nation-al events, usually held in the National Chapter’s home stateof Pennsylvania. “There are 21 different chapters in the

After many years of discussion, an ambitiousproject to ease congestion in Pennsylvania’sdensely populated Bucks and Montgomery coun-ties is finally under way withconstruction of a long-awaitedparkway.
The PennsylvaniaDepartment of Transportation(PennDOT) has estimated thatby 2020 the new highway willbe traveled by between 23,700and 28,300 vehicles daily
Certain changes, however,had to be made before groundcould be broken for the project.
According to PennDOT, theparkway had initially beenplanned as an expressway withlimited access. However, inMarch 2004, the departmentrealized its projected revenueswould not provide enoughfunding for all its proposed
projects and this particular job was among thosere-evaluated. As a result, a parkway was ultimate-ly chosen as an appropriate solution for improvingtravel conditions in the area while remaining with-in the limitations imposed by available funds.

It is impractical to hope that health carereform will be tailored to the constructionindustry. Nevertheless, small businessesconsistently favor certain reform initiativesover others. Were Washington to institutereform along the lines general contractorsmight lay down, the following featureswould be among the legislated changes:
• New authority for associations tonegotiate insurance packages for theirmembers. Besides gaining clout in negoti-ating benefits, association insurance nego-tiators could win lower premiums, if giventhe opportunity. Associated Builders andContractors noted that private insurancecarriers must mark up premiums as muchas 35 percent when dealing with smallgroups in order to meet profit targets andoffset overhead. Whereas associations canprovide the same administrative servicesfor their members at a cost of 15 percent orless — if, that is, members are allowed tobuy insurance through small businesshealth plan pools.

Visionaire’s Model 2900 Idealfor Off Highway Vehicle Cab
Visionaire Inc. of Grand Prairie, Texas,announced the Model 2900 remote coolantheater for applications where engine coolantis not readily available to heat an off high-way vehicle cab.
The compact model 2900 contains aWebasto coolant heater that uses diesel fuelto generate 8,600 to 17,000 btu/h (2.5 to 5kW) of heat. The 2900 also houses thecoolant reservoir, filters, pumps and plumb-ing necessary for a self contained heatsource. An available auxiliary fuel tank canbe mounted beside the unit, reducingexposed plumbing.
Available alone or in combination withvarious Visionaire air handlers, the 2900reduces the number of redundant compo-nents inside compact cabs. In crane, boomtruck, and mining equipment cabs, designengineers often have to find space for bothan air conditioner and a diesel air heater.Two separate systems mean separate inletand outlet ductwork, blowers, and controls.Often placed under a seat pedestal or arm-rest, the heater becomes difficult to serviceand is neglected.
The 2900 allows cab designers the flexi-
bility to integrate heating, cooling and cabpressurization into a single in-cab systemkeeping combustion, fuel and noise outsidethe cab. The 2900’s steel enclosure allowsvarious mounting configurations and easyaccess for service.

UO Taps Ore.-Based K&E Excavatingfor Construction of New Ducks Arena
than 24 months from start to finish.Salem, Ore.-based K&E Excavating Inc. has been on the
job since early this year. The pace during the first fewmonths of K&E’s $5.9-million contract was breakneck;excavation of 320,000 cu. yds. (244,660 cu m) was substan-tially complete in 67 days.
K&E took an area equivalent to 3.5 city blocks down 30
ft. (9.1 m), on average, with the deepest sections reaching 44ft. (13.4 m). The company ran a Caterpillar 345 excavatorand two 330s, as well as a Caterpillar D7 dozer leased fromHalton Co. Additional trucks were hired from companiessuch as Delta Sand & Gravel Co. (Eugene) and BandonConcrete & Development of Bandon, Ore.
“We were running 20 to 30 trucks all day long,” said K&E

K&E took an area equivalent to 3.5 city blocks down 30 ft. (9.1 m), on average, with the deepest sections reach-ing 44 ft. (13.4 m).
Ground breaking for the 397,825-sq.-ft. (36,960 sq m) arena took place in February. The first Ducks game in thenew arena is scheduled to take place as early as December of next year, giving general contractor HoffmanConstruction and approximately 70 subcontractors less than 24 months from start to finish.
Crushing, Screening & Recycling Section
Since going into operation in 2007, theSennebogen 850 locomotive units at theAxis location of Tube City IMS (TCIMS),one of the world’s leading steel servicesorganizations, have seen an impressive15,000 hours of service. Working in con-junction with other rubber-tired Sennebogenmachines — 850 M and 870 M — the twolocomotive units charge buckets for the site’smelt shop and have played a major role inmaximizing the site’s production volume.
“Visitors to the site are always extremelyimpressed with the kind of volume we turnout here,” said Dave Chapman, TCIMS gen-eral manager, Mill Service Group. “Wecharged over 1.7 million tons of scrap in2008. That’s a phenomenal amount of workfor a yard designed to operate with a month-ly maximum inventory of 80,000 tons ofmaterial. Our Sennebogen machines havedefinitely been a major factor in helping usachieve this kind of volume.”
Sennebogen Fleet Keeps Things Moving at Axis Site
The TCIMS Axis location is a hub ofactivity. Scrap metal is delivered to the yard
by rail car, truck and barge. TCIMS 50 ton(45 t) haul trucks deliver scrap off-loadedfrom barges at the company’s dock facility,while scrap from outside suppliers arrives intrucks and by rail cars on rails that runthrough the yard. Equipped with inter-changeable grapples and magnets, the site’srubber-tired Sennebogen machines movearound the dirt and gravel yard working theoutside scrap pile lines and handling all ofthe truck deliveries. The Axis site adminis-ters and provides mill services for all scrapmetal coming into the yard.
“The Sennebogen 850 locomotive units’primary purpose is to load charge bucketswith scrap,” said Darrin Blount, TCIMSscrap yard and dock superintendent. “Theunits’ Caterpillar engines and hydraulic sys-tems are used to move them along rail trackswithin the yard. Using 2-yd. (1.8 m) grap-ples, the 850 special locomotive cranes usu-ally unload scrap from rail cars directly intothe charge bucket, and at other times unloadit onto inventory commodity piles to becharged later. The loaded charge buckets arethen shunted to the melt shop via Kress RTpallet carriers. It’s a pretty efficient operation
that allows us to process the impressiveamount of material we have managed in thelast two years.”
TCIMS Maintenance Superintendent TimMiddleton said mounting the 850 materialhandlers onto the locomotive cars and get-ting them operational was a joint co-opera-tive effort between Sennebogen ServiceManager Jim Westlake, Danny Wright atTractor & Equipment Company in Mobile,Ala., and the yard’s own maintenance crew,with the latter putting in most of the workinvolved with the installation. Routine main-tenance on the machines is done onsite byTCIMS technicians, while service and partsfor the machines are provided by Tractor &Equipment, said Middleton.
Sennebogen Elevating Cab a Winner With TCIMS Operators
The elevating cabs on the Sennebogen850 locomotive units were deciding factorsin the acquisition of the units and haveproven to be important in increasing theirefficiency for this application, saidMiddleton.
“Being able to look into the scrap rail cars
as we unload them is an absolute necessity,”said Middleton. “The elevating cabs on ourSennebogen 850 locomotive units enable usto do that. The elevating cabs on our mobilemachines enable us to do the same thingwith trucks and trailers that come into theyard. The all-round visibility offered by thecabs saves time, eliminates guessing and hashelped us eliminate potential damage to railcars and trucks and trailers.”
The Axis location management teamagreed that their Sennebogen 850 locomo-tive units are simple to use and service, andwith a swing speed from 0 to 6.5 rpm theyhave a higher cyclical rate for handlingmaterial than other manufacturers’machinesthey have used with the locomotive applica-tion in the past. Reliability, maneuverabilityand purpose-built efficiency also haveproven to be important post-purchasestrengths of the machines, according to thecompany.

Terex Corporation has announced details of a majorstrategic initiative to create one of the world’s largest suppli-ers of mobile crushing and screening equipment solutions byuniting its Terex Pegson and Powerscreen products andservices under one powerful name — Powerscreen.
The move by U.S. owner Terex Corporation, the latest ina series of initiatives designed to better serve its customersand bolster continued growth, follows a wide-rangingreview of its operations and means that all products andservices bearing the Terex Pegson name and image will nowcarry the Powerscreen brand. Crushers also will be instantlyrecognized by their new coating in “Powerscreen green.”
Pat Brian, Powerscreen global sales director, said: “Thisis the final step in a careful process that brings together thesetwo powerful names in crushing and screening and allows usto successfully leverage the strength of one reinforced brand,to make Powerscreen the premier name in mobile crushingand screening products across the globe.
“This new branding strategy accurately reflects our busi-ness and our people — unified, progressive, dynamic and
fired-up. It also forms the basis of a key strategic plandesigned to deliver the best for our customers, dealers andstaff. This new, powerful brand will streamline our imageand ‘look’and make it easy to identify our top-quality prod-ucts.”
As an additional initiative, and to effectively capture thecompany’s history, the Pegson name will be used on prod-uct descriptions. For example, the XH250 impactor crusherwill now be known as the Powerscreen Pegson XH250impactor crusher.
Earlier this year, Terex Corporation established two newmanufacturing centers of excellence in Northern Ireland,enabling it to more closely serve its customers and capturebenefits of scale as it moved towards leaner, innovativemanufacturing techniques. Screening equipment forPowerscreen is now being made at a center of excellence inDungannon, Ireland, while crushing equipment is manufac-tured at a similar, specially-designed facility in Omagh,Ireland.

University of Oregon’s Arena to Be Completed by Fall 2010field superintendent Michael Zollner.
Each of the trucks had to be washed before leaving thesite, due to the city of Eugene’s erosion control regulations.K&E rented an elaborate wheel wash system, but it couldn’tkeep up the pace. The problem was remedied with the mostbasic solution: laborers with hoses washing down tires,“working their tails off,” Zollner said.
The weather complicated matters; at one point it rainedtwo inches over the course of two days. The winter watertable for the site is 13 ft. below ground level and K&E wasworking at 17 ft. below. K&E hired BakerCorp to set up a
pump/filtration system and train K&E workers to use it.Zollner said that for five months, two men were dedicatedsolely to the task of running the filtration system, ensuringthat the water was purified before being sent into the stormdrain.
“By the time the water came out of the filtration system, itwas pretty much drinkable water,” said Zollner.
After excavating the arena area, K&E moved to a relatedproject: an $18-million underground parking garage intend-ed to accommodate Ducks fans. While K&E was at workexcavating the area for the three-level garage, Delta Sandand Gravel hauled nine feet of rock into the arena site as
backfill.Between the arena and the parking garage, K&E prepared
for more than 300 footings, plus an additional 25 as part ofyet another related project: two practice courts of more than16,000 sq. ft.
For the arena footings, K&E used Trimble GPS systems.Over the past two years, the 130-employee excavation com-pany has ramped up its GPS use, adding units to its machinesand dedicating eight workers to operate the systems, full-time.
“Once you learn and understand the system, it’s the wayto go,” said Zollner. “Production goes way up with it.”
At present, K&E has about five employees on the UO job,as it wraps up work for the season by finishing the practicecourts’ footing excavation and backfill. K&E will return towork in the spring; completion for its contract is scheduledfor September/October of next year.
In the meantime, other contractors will continue to workon the arena. The prime concrete contractor, Pence/KellyConcrete of Salem, has nearly finished the structural con-crete. Over the next few weeks, pre-cast stadia slabs will behoisted into place. In December, structural steel, includingroof trusses, will begin to go up.
The financial benefits of such a landmark project in a statewith the fourth highest unemployment rate in the nation areobvious. There are also other, less tangible perks for the con-tractors involved.
Zollner said: “To have a chance to work on a high profilejob like this is a once-in-a-lifetime deal…My grandkids willbe able to come to a Ducks game [at the new arena] andknow that their grandfather helped build it.”

The Papé ConnectionWith its corporate headquarters based in
Eugene, where the University of Oregon is locat-ed, it’s no surprise that The Papé Group Inc.employs a lot of UO graduates.
Furthermore, former company president andCEO Randy Papé was “a University of Oregonman through and through,” wrote Rick Attig in aNovember 2008 Oregonian article publishedthe week of Papé’s death.
Tim Clevenger, The Papé Group’s vice presi-dent of marketing and brand management,describes Randy Papé as “integrally involved”with the university, pointing out the CEO’s keyrole in a recent capital campaign that helpedraise $600 million for the university.
Like Papé, Clevenger is a UO graduate, aswell as a past president of the university’s alumniassociation. As a Ducks fan and marketing pro-fessional, he’s excited about the new arena: “It’llbe a great venue to get more fans and more cit-izenship, for people from around the state to seeOregon ball.”

WSDOTMoves Quickly to Control Damages by Landslide in rock and gravel to build up the road. Theyput in culverts to direct the wandering riverunder the temporary gravel road and putrocks and trees alongside it to keep the waterfrom eroding the route.
The Naches River is “still trying to figureout where it wants to go, as far as a newchannel,” said WSDOT spokespersonMeagan McFadden. “That was somethingwe were up against last week: the river con-stantly diverting itself while we’re trying to
build this temporary roadway.”The contractor created a large pool area
near the landslide to help offset the unpre-dictable flow of the river and to make theconstruction of the emergency route possi-ble. Now, to prevent spillage from that pool,
crews are constructing a channel to carry thewater away from the temporary road.
“We’re building a channel that will handlethe velocity of the river and water flow,” saidMcFadden.
Meanwhile, a design team is planninganother roadway, probably also temporarybut intended to last through the winter. Thisroad will be at a higher elevation, above the100-year floodplain, and it will be paved. Itmay or may not remain past spring;McFadden said designers are still determin-ing where the new roads are going to go.
For now, the push is on keeping the emer-gency route from eroding until the higherelevation, interim road is built.
“We have no timeline. We’re just workingas quickly as we can to get things open andfixed temporarily for wintertime. Usuallythe snow comes down the third week ofNovember, so we’re trying to work againstthe clock here,” McFadden said.
The current estimate for the emergencyresponse, channel construction, and buildingthe emergency and winter roads is $7.8 mil-lion, although the numbers are far from firmat this point.

HydrauliCircuit Technology Experiences Major GrowthIn 1996, David Perry, CEO of
HydrauliCircuit Technology(HCT) was busy assembling andselling hydraulic kits for attach-ments from his garage.
The company, which specializesin production of easy to installhydraulic kits to operate attach-ments or combination of attach-ments on excavators, loader back-hoes and wheel loaders, wasn’tthere for long, however, as growthcame quickly for the Jonesboro,Ga., company; the following yearPerry moved the operation out ofthe garage and into a 3,000 sq.-ft.-facility and hired staff members.
In 1998 he had to double hissquare footage required to buildhydraulic kits, and then again in1999. In 2009, he expanded yetagain.
This latest expansion puts HCTinto a facility that is almost triplethe size of the previous location —35,000 sq. ft. — and was purpose-ly designed by Perry and built forfurther expansion of his business.
“The previous facility was only13,500 sq. ft. and we were com-pletely full. To accommodate pro-duction, we had to rent additionalspace in adjacent buildings,” Perrysaid.
Situated on a 12.5 acre site locat-ed on a street appropriately namedFluid Drive, in McDonough, Ga.,the new site was chosen to providethe company with plenty of spacefor expansion and loading and off-loading machines. The squarefootage is broken down to 25,000for shop space and 10,000 foroffice.
The new facility provides morespace for design, assembly, ship-ping and storage of hydraulic kits.It also equates to providing HCT
with capabilities it did not havebefore, and is equipped with brandnew machinery, including digitalautomated tube bending equip-ment; semi automatic phased pulseMIG welding; and in-house pow-der coating ovens for components.A new sandblast booth and phos-phate steam degreaser will providecleaned and degreased compo-nents to work on or to powder coat.There are a total of five shop bays,four of which are dedicated baysfor in house hydraulic kit installa-tion and can accommodate virtual-ly any machine the company pro-vides work on.
“With more service bays we areable to accommodate moremachines than ever before. Weoffer local dealers such attractivelabor rates for installing the kitsthat they like to bring the machinesto us. Having a particular modelexcavator or backhoe in our shop is
the best way to obtainengineering informationfor producing hydraulickits on other likemachines. When amachine is in our shop,we’re not only installinga hydraulic kit, we’redoing a comprehensive study onthe machine’s hydraulic and elec-tronic system to develop the tech-nology and engineering for numer-ous kit designs on that model.,”said HCT president, Navin Baliga.
All kits are custom built tomatch the machine and attachmentspecifications.
In looking back at the progres-sion of his business, Perry said,“our original customer base wasend users back in the early days ofthe company. Business thenexpanded more to equipment deal-erships, which quickly became ourlargest customer base. Now, we are
the OEM kit supplier to manyattachment manufacturers. Mostrecently, we have begun to workwith the carrier machine OEM’s.So we’re seeing the OEM as thedirection for future businessexpansion. We think there will beopportunities with this new facilityfor the OEM’s to bring machineshere. Whereas before, thehydraulic kits were shipped outand installed in the field, we can doresearch and development here forthe OEMs.
“We already are working withcompanies such as Komatsu, JohnDeere, CNH Corp. Kobelco,
Doosan, Link-Belt, Volvo, IHI,Kubota and Takeuchi. Right now,we are working with a manufactur-er on engineering, design anddevelopment of wheel loaderhydraulic kits for utilizing roll outbuckets, hydraulic forks and differ-ent attachments where you need athird hydraulic function.”
Recently, HCT plumbed a brandnew John Deere 850D, 85-tonexcavator, at their facility inMcDonough which was transport-ed from the port of Savannah, Ga.
“Having a convenient locationjust off of Interstate 75, theJD850D was dropped off here forthe work and then was transportedon to the end user in Knoxville,Tenn. We anticipate more businessbeing conducted in the same wayin the future. Savannah is a majorentry point for excavators andother machines coming into theU.S. We make it very convenientto drop off a machine at our facili-ty to have the work done beforebeing transported to its final desti-nation,” Perry said.
“Looking back, it seems likethere has been a natural progres-sion of starting with end users, thento equipment dealers, then ontoattachment manufacturers, andnow to the manufacturers of thecarrier machines. It has been a lotof fun, and we are looking forwardto the next phase of growth for ourcompany,” Perry said.
